Hi all and specialy John Chrapowicki and Shawn Lin, I must say this ES threath is one of the most interesting ES threats ever. Finaly it's not just I'm against and I'm for and I'm neutral, but it tries to find answers on what End Search is! Thanks! Cheers, Ralph --

Hi List, I'm very familiar with the plagued UTOC problems of the Sharp 702. I met a customer of mine recently who is having what sounds to be the exact same problem with a 722 he purchased from Hong Kong in Oct 98. Certain discs work fine in the unit, while others display the dreaded UTOC

I have the Sony MZ-R55, and the advertised 40 second shock protection DOES NOT live up to its reputation. I ran into the same problem, and this is the solution that I came up with: I strapped the unit to my upper arm with a sweatband. You'll find that the MD player will be held snugly to your

MD: Battery Question

I've a Sharp 722 with a Lithium Ion battery. After using the battery, I plug it in to charge. Is this a good idea? I remember my dad having to use a battery conditioner to drain all the power from his old Motorola cell phone battery, but it was NiMH and fairly old. Does recharging after a

It really depends on the player. My old MZ-R2 portable plays all tracks with no gaps, even in random play. My JA3 home deck plays tracks in order with no gaps, but inserts a second or two gap when playing in shuffle mode. With the amount of pre-play buffer in these things you would think it

Sorry John I think you are incorrect with your assumptions re 'time machine' function. On my JA3 it only works whilst it is in 'record-standby' mode. In this model and AFAIK, all Sony home decks, the laser is powered up and the disc spinning, unlike the 701, where nothing other than the record

Li-Ion batteries prefer to be topped up rather than completely discharged. Of course, they don't like being overcharged either, but that's not easily achieved given the thought that goes into designing the built-in chargers in today's equipment suited to these batteries. The rule of thumb with
